Money Monday: Many Americans aren’t saving enough

In a Bankrate survey, half of Americans are saving 5% or less of their income, with only a quarter saving 10% or more.

That’s far below the recommended 15% savings that Bankrate recommends — only about 1 in 7 Americans are saving that much.

The middle class appears to be doing the most saving, with 35% of income earners of $50,000 to $74,999 annually saving more than 10%. Those in the $75,000+ annual wage bracket are a close second, with 32% saving 10% or more of their income.
